Hi I read an article in new scientist a few months ago about the dangers of acrylamide (which causes health problems including cancer) in food. Apparantly the levels are elevated in burnt food so it's probably best to avoid burnt toast (but as for me I love burnt toast, it's so crunchy!)

The charcoal in burnt toast is supposed to be good in that it acts like a filter to filter out impurities. (or so I have heard.) Burnt toast and tea used to be given to people recovering from upset stomachs, so there must be something to the theory.

It used to be said that eating burnt toast was good for your teeth, and made them whiter. Then a few years ago my mum said she had heard of a study where eating burnt food was linked to increased risks of cancer. So according to that eating any burnt food is not good for you. Don't know if anyone else heard of this...

basically slightly of burnt nutrition on party won't be risky yet purposely ingesting a dose of it accepted might nicely be a extensive mistake. I, too, have examine that burnt nutrition is maximum cancers inflicting cancer agents there is sufficient stuff available to offer us maximum cancers without ingesting it on purpose.

No, the fresh carbon in the black stuff is a good detoxing agent. I've heard it said that the burned part of toast is good first aid for some poisons.

Any burnt food is bad for you. Burnt food contains high amounts of carcinogens that can trigger cancer. Burnt meat is especially lethal, particularly when it is cooked on a barbecue.

yes. Anything burnt contains carbon which can lead to cancer. If you eat something burnt it is best to eat a tomato aferwards! Strange I know, but burnt food increases free radicals which lead to cancer. Tomato's mop up all the free radicals.
Simple! ;S
